Campground Reviews

After a couple of years, the bathrooms shoukd be fixed before a big holiday weekend. Basketball nets should be brought back. After 50 years at this campground, prices are just about too expensive for me. Love the campground but all of our regular camper friends are no longer there due to excessive prices.

Very expensive. The patios being built are very nice. Large fire pits but cannot cook on them. Disappointed that work being done has not been completed by Memorial Day weekend. Last year pool was not open some showers not open this year. Showers in block bathhouse could use some upgrades. Need showers on end closest to national park. Lines to use showers.

We have stayed at this KOA many times in the past and will consider it in the future. However, the prices for a site are starting to get out of hand. It’s getting to the point where pulling a camper there doesn’t make sense compared to getting a hotel room. Also, for 180 a night, the WiFi infrastructure should be better. No cell service and bad WiFi during severe weather makes us not love it.

Enjoyed our stay over looking the river. First time at this campground but definitely will be back. Customer service was outstanding from check in to check out and everything in between.

Our cabin Dc13 was full of ants! Upon check in the maintenance staff came in and cleaned the top bunk bed off and sprayed the entire cabin. HOWEVER that hardly slowed them down. The air conditioner filter was also nasty and smelled sour. The front desk lady would not even discount the room. I said I will be leaving a truthful review. She said ok. The ants were in our bags upon leaving. Terrible!

This was a shorter add on to a longer stay as we didn’t want to leave. Great location on the quiet side of the smokies right on the little river. Beautiful location.

Princess weekend started wet but turned into a magical weekend that even our boys loved. Tie dye and their comfort movie, Cinderella. From fishing to playing in the river, swimming in the pool and just running around they always have such a blast and feel comfortable here. Out great Dane puppy loves the dog park too.

We stayed 3 nights at site 15 along the river and enjoyed the view. The only problem we had was people letting their dogs use the restroom there at site by the river. They offer a dog park and people should use it and not just anywhere they feel like it.

Nice pool, bathrooms and beautiful landscaping. However, site #100 TV Cable is bad, analog signal is fuzzy & digital signal is too weak to display. I got stung, 3 times, by yellowjackets!!! Otherwise, a great place to camp!

Our stay this year was wonderful, despite some storms. The staff was welcoming and always around if we needed something. The campground was in full bloom so we enjoyed many walks with our dog. We had some trouble with our dinghy on the day we were to leave and had to have it towed to Alcoa for service. The campground staff were supportive and helpful. A beautiful and well run campground!

Super nice campground with a great staff!! Very nice dog park too other than a few campers bringing dogs in that don’t get along with other’s…..

This was a very quiet, clean, well kept KOA. Probably one of the best we ever stayed at? The site was the most level I ever had at ANY campground.
May 22, 2024
I have stayed at this KOA multiple times, and each time has been an A+ experience. Highly recommend.

Clean, welcoming, and efficient. Very nice layout and staff was very helpful. We stayed in space 79 right on the river our 25’ class C had no problem parking and it had plenty of space.

I loved the stay. Reception was very pleasant and clean rooms

We stayed in DC15. Everything was clean. We would suggest a lamp. While watching TV, the overhead fan Light was too much and the ceiling lights were very bright and made a glare on everything. We also noticed a light bulb out in bathroom. Otherwise, these few minor things is all we can report We were very pleased with our stay. Thank you!.

My husband and I love staying at the Townsend KOA! The bathhouse and grounds are kept clean and and the campground is landscaped with lovely plants and flowers. The employees are so helpful and I really love that they help us park our RV! We usually pick a spot right on the river. The weekend we were there they had activities for the campers including arts and crafts and a movie night.

Love the cabins on the river. Enjoy the movies on Saturday night. Great location to the national park.

Were there for 3 nights, Fri, Sat, & Sun. Very nice CG on a Smoky Mountain stream. Very clean and well kept park. Site was pretty level; only minor adjustments to get level. Nice patio right under our main coach door. Only downside is this park was laid out when campers were smaller. Felt really close to our neighbors. But, we had no problem getting our 36 foot class A in or out.

Great RV Campground. This is our 3rd time staying. We are coming back in August. GREAT Laundry area too. Clean, Great service. Our site was #85

We took our 4 year old daughter camping and the staff was awesome. They all were welcoming and playful. The theme for the weekend was princess which worked out perfect for our little princess. Play ground was awesome. Our campsite was right in the river which made it hard to get out of bed each morning. All in all 10 out of 10 will camp again.

Beautiful campground in a magnificent location. Great staff and amenities.

Fantastic day! The KOA is always just really beautiful and well taken care of. Such a great place to use as an in between. Cheaper than the Airbnb in a little bit better than a regular campground. KOA provides fantastic service and proximity to the park. Beautiful.

Staff was extremely friendly, polite, and helpful. Facilities were all very clean and well kept up. Our group included 2 other families of 5 in 2 other cabins and I can’t say I heard a single complaint.

We loved the campground, it is very cute with the true essence of the Great Smokie Mountains there. The showers are nicer than most homes, they have washers and dryers available, activities for the kids. Sitting along the water was so relaxing!

The cabin was nice and clean. It has AC and a heater. The bathrooms were a short walk away.

Edit: Two years later and we finally got to come back and stay by the river. I think this is the best tent site in the Smokies! And the best campground! We had a great stay at this beautiful campground! Had to switch last minute from a tent site to a cabin due to bad weather and the staff were so helpful. Can't wait to come back and stay by the river!
